In terms of contracts imo it's the inputs that you'd also want a lawyer for.
A big chunk of the skill of good lawyers is understanding the client's needs and identifying risks.
But then you'd just have a couple of partners churning out all the work.
The problem you have is where to tomorrow's partners come from?
If you get get a bot to do all the jobs that help to train/skill people irl then how do you make up for that? As TW says this isn't especially unique as it's also been a concern with offshoring as well as economic downturns - if your seat in property during your training contact coinsides with a period when there is no work what can you learn?

Well, there's a lot of risk if LawGPT generates a flawed but plausible-looking contract, so I imagine people will still want a human to check the results even if they don't have to spend time drafting it.
The lower echelons of journalism seem like a soft target, which is probably why journalists are so exercised. Reformatting press releases into house style, writing articles about things you saw on Twitter, and composing listicles. All bullshit, and all probably automatable, but it's not clear what the career path for new journalists will be if those dry up.
